The color hurts it a bit, for the market in general. Something about the commonality and flash of red is a 10% value hit, in my experience. Personally, I'm fine with red.
There are a hundred little details that all add up. The '87 Carrera I'm currently selling has $10K in upgrades over a stock car. This is relevant ONLY if those are the upgrades you want and would spend money for in the future. If they are not, the value of the car is unchanged.
Beyond the upgrades, you have condition of paint, upholstery, chassis, brakes, tires... etc. All potentially variable based on 26+ years of operating in the real world.
See if you can get an expert nearby to go see the car and thoroughly inspect it (a pre-PPI).
Oh, and as for miles, I don't consider 139K on a 26 year-old car to be high miles at all. It's 5K miles per year. In my experience, a well-maintained 3.2 is good for 250-300K miles.
